On My Way Home Everyday...

What do you think of during your journey home from work everyday?

I randomly think about:

1. I wonder how's the traffic is at the customs.
2. What shall I make tonight? A pouch? A new card?
3. What fun project can I do with Daniel this weekend?
4. What supplies do I need to get?
5. Darren is so cute, can't wait to hold him and smell him.
6. I wonder what it would be like if Damien is around, I'd have 3 boys to wrestle with!
7. What shall I make tonight? A pouch? A card?
8. What supplies do I need to get?
9. Is tonight 'sexy' night? What should I put on?
10. Darren is so cute.
11. Will Daniel grow up to be a good teenager and a good man?
12. How are my parenting skills up to date?
13. Darren is so cute.
14. Is Paul going to be home before me? I would love that.
15. I should surprise him with a nice facial or massage.
16. I should call my mom.
17. Darren is so cute.
18. Should I have another baby?
19. I should call my mom.
20. I wonder what time I'll get home.
21. I want to make bento lunches for my family.
22. I want to quit my job, sell off my Golf and live a low-maintenance simple life.
23. I need Josie, my miracle domestic helper.
24. Should I have another baby?
25. Darren is so cute.
26. What new design can I create for a card?
27. I want to redecorate my home.
28. I want to quit my job, sell off my Golf and live a low-maintenance simple life, AND redecorate my home.
29. I wonder what Daniel has been doing all day at home. I should create daily projects for him to do.
30. I should settle some bank matters.

Repeat until arrival. Gosh! No wonder my brain is tired when I get home!

    Hi Sally!
    She is my live-in helper from Philippines. I processed her visa and work permit all by myself! Hehe.

    Where are you from?

    Hi Ally,

    I am from Melaka, Malaysia. I wonder how you can get her from Philippines and process your own paperwork? Must be through friend's recommendation? I bet she must be good in doing her household chores, and at the same time, it must be expensive to pay her monthly salary?

    Regards,
    Sally

    I am lucky in the sense that she came recommended as the sister of my colleague's maid, who is very good as well. So I processed her visa on the Malaysian side, while I had contacts for a Philippines agent (compulsory to process via agent in Phil). My life has changed since she came! I cannot imagine anyone as capable and nice as her. I'm truly so grateful. By national rate, Filipino's salary is RM900, maybe now is RM1000, not sure. But if you get a good one, it is really worth it.

    Hi Ally,

    Thanks for sharing the information. You are really lucky to have her. In recent years, it is really tough to find a good helper. I heard that Filipino's are much better than Indonesian ones. Previously I had few Indonesian maids, but none lasted. Most run away after few weeks/months - more like they get together with the agent and keep running away from home to home and the agent then earns the $$$ and never even return back any portion to us. Some can't get simple work done. Most of the time they can eat well and they eat a lot. Become much stronger after eating all the good food and end up spoiling a lot of electrical items and other items in the house. Right now, I have given up on maids and still looking around for those hourly paid ones.

    Regards,'Sally

    Yes, I heard a lot about Indonesian maid stories. If my col had not recommended her maid sister, I wouldn't have hired one. Are you still looking for a maid?

    Sure, I would like to help. Especially when you become a mother, a good maid will make a HUGE difference.
